The Mazie Mentoring Program

The John Andrew Mazie Memorial Foundation

The John Andrew Mazie Memorial Foundation is a nonprofit organization that strives to fulfill the legacy of John Andrew Mazie, a man who enjoyed helping young people before dying in a car accident. Since 1998, the foundation’s Mazie Mentoring Program has operated for students at Framingham (MA) High School. Starting in 2010, a second program has existed for students at Waltham (MA) High School. The program operates through the recruitment and training of adult volunteers to mentor and act as role models for high school students at-risk of not reaching their full potential. Its objective is to provide young people with the support to help them achieve their goals and succeed.

The Mazie Mentoring Program Story

To become a mentor in the Mazie Mentoring Program, you must be at least 21 years of age and a high school graduate. You also must commit to meeting with your mentee for an average of 8 hours per month so you can make a positive impact on that young teen's life.

We are very pleased to announce that, as of July 1, 2017 The John Andrew Mazie Memorial Foundation has become a member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Massachusetts organization. Although both organizations will continue to operate and fund-raise separately, the combined organizations will be able to reduce back-office expenses and expand their programs into other schools.
